A Windows user profile is a collection of settings on your PC that contain system preferences and files from your Desktop, Favorites, My Documents and other locations. Your profile is what makes your login unique from other accounts on the computer.

If you try to log on to Windows and received an error message telling you that your user profile might be corrupted, you can try to repair it. If the repair fails, you will need to create a new profile, and then copy the files from the existing profile to the new one.
